Welcome to the Zynga Community Forums! We’ve provided these Rules of Conduct to provide guidelines for new and old members alike on behaviors and activities that are acceptable and encouraged as well as those that are not permitted. Your continued use of the Zynga Community Forums is based on your adherence to these Rules of Conduct.
These Rules of Conduct apply to all threads, posts, private messages, visitor messages on user profiles, social groups, and any other form of communication within Zynga Community Forums (collectively “Forum Content”):
1. Zynga Terms of Service
The Zynga Terms of Service govern all use of the Zynga Service, including zynga.com and the Zynga Community Forums (“Forum”). Violation of the Terms of Service can result in suspension of your forum account and other Zynga services.

Forum Content must be civil and where possible it should be courteous. The Zynga Forums are a place for positive and constructive interactions between people that play Zynga games or that have an interest in Zynga games.

9. Violations of these Rules of Conduct
Forum Content and activity must not violate the letter or spirit of these Rules of Conduct. Forum Moderators and other Zynga staff, in their sole discretion, will determine whether Forum Content or activity is in violation.
Responses to violations may include, but not be limited to: issuing a warning; removing Forum Content; suspending or terminating use of the Forums or other aspects of the Zynga Service.
A failure to strictly enforce any aspect of these Rules of Conduct does not prevent Forum Moderators or other Zynga staff from doing so in the future.
